- Title
Mechanisms of host cell exit by intracellular pathogens.

- Abstract
This article, published in the journal Molecular Microbiology, focuses on the mechanisms of host cell exit by intracellular pathogens. While much is known about how pathogens enter host cells, less is understood about how they exit. The article highlights a collection of research articles, resource articles, and reviews that explore the exit mechanisms of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic pathogens. The authors discuss the three main pathways of host cell exit: membrane-dependent exit without host cell lysis, active lytic destruction of the host cell, and the initiation of programmed cell death. The article also mentions the funding and collaborative efforts of the research network SPP 2225, which aims to study exit strategies of intracellular pathogens. Overall, this collection of articles provides valuable insights into the exit mechanisms of various pathogens and may stimulate further research in this field.
